Two days later, Brony arrived at Zerun Holding Group.
Li Ze personally brought him to Legend of Mir 2 and asked Shen Qianru to talk to Brony about the game's operations and experience.
These things did not involve the core of the Legend of Mir 2 itself, so there was no harm in teaching Brony.
Brony chatted with Shen Qianru for more than an hour and asked about all aspects of online game operations.
Before leaving, Brony also expressed his gratitude to Shen Qianru and Li Ze.
Brony had gained a lot from this trip. He now had a clearer understanding of the game that Penguin was going to represent.
However, selling games was only one of Brony's current ideas.
As for when to implement it, including what games to commission, all of these needed time.
Before leaving, Brony also revealed to Li Ze that Penguin would probably only officially enter the online game market next year.
After sending Brony off, Li Ze asked Shen Qianru about the Miracle MT closed beta.
According to Shen Qianru, the players who participated in the closed beta were generally positive about Miracle MG, especially since many people said that Miracle MG was much more playable than Legend of Mir 2.
Legends were relatively monotonous.
They just kept killing monsters or PK. At first, they thought it was quite interesting and exciting. However, after playing for a long time, it was inevitable that he would feel a little bored.
Li Ze was naturally aware of the flaws of a Legend.
Therefore, he had high expectations for Miracle MU.
It was July.
After half a month of closed beta, Miracle MU finally welcomed the open beta on July 10th!
Thanks to Legend of Mir 2's strong marketing channels, they quickly installed the app in countless internet cafes across the country and promoted it.
After Miracle MU opened its public beta, in just three days, the number of simultaneous online users had exceeded 100,000, and the number of registered users had reached more than two million.
And the players who participated in the open beta were basically always positive.
Such a hot start had greatly encouraged Shen Qianru and the entire Legend of Mir 2. Li Ze was also quite happy when he heard the news.
It could be predicted that Miracle MU would become a huge money-making tool for Legend of Mir 2!
The development of Miracle MU was just as Li Ze had expected. In less than a month after the open beta, the number of simultaneous online users had exceeded 300,000, and the number of registered users had exceeded 10 million!
Although it was still inferior compared to the Legend of Mir 2, this was already a very shocking number.
Legends were still popular nowadays.
There were also other online games like Magic Baby that had similarly performed well in the market.
Miracle Mu was able to have 10 million registered users and 300,000 people online at the same time in less than a month of the open beta. Its performance was already very strong.
A month after Miracle MG's open beta, Legend of Mir 2 officially announced that it would start charging for its services on October 1st, which was National Day.
However, before the official charging operation, Shen Qianru had launched an activity in Miracle Mu to charge cards and give Blessing Gems. This was also to test the willingness of the current Miracle Mu players to pay.
This way, he could better calculate how many players could be retained after the paid operation.
As soon as the " Free Blessing Gemstones for Charging Cards " event started, it immediately attracted a craze from the players.
As the Blessing Gem was currently the most popular currency for strengthening items and high-level equipment in Miracle Mu, and the drop rate in the game was extremely low, it attracted countless players to buy it.
As a result, the Legend of Mir 2 game was not prepared enough in advance, resulting in many places running out of Miracle Mu Point Cards.
There were even some second-hand dealers who directly increased the price of the card from 30 yuan to 50 yuan per card!
Such an explosive scene also surprised Shen Qianru and the entire operations team of Legend of Mir 2.
Everyone knew that Miracle Mu's success was inevitable.
The next step was to see what kind of height he could reach.
……
The temperature in August was extremely hot.
Li Ze took advantage of the fact that there were not many things to do at the company and it was still summer vacation, so he planned to take his son, Li Dong, back to his hometown to spend time with his parents.
"Ah Ming, turn left in front…"
Li Ze sat in the backseat and pointed to the road for Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming had never been to Li Ze's hometown, so he didn't know the way.
"Alright, boss!"
Jiang Ming responded and quickly turned the steering wheel to the left into the fork.
At this moment, Li Ze suddenly heard his son Li Dong's voice in his mind.
Right now, there wasn't a map of the Hundred Poisons map…It was really inconvenient to wait for these navigation maps. If one didn't know the way, it would be very troublesome.
It was much more convenient in the future. As long as one had a mobile phone and downloaded a navigation map, they would not have to worry about getting lost or going the wrong way no matter where they drove.
However, it seemed that the navigation map would only be released in a few more years. Moreover, it would only gradually become popular when the smartphone became popular. It would become one of the must-have software installed in the mobile phones of thousands of car owners and even many car-free people.
Moreover, the navigation map could also gather all the leisure and entertainment in the surroundings.
Whether it was to find a hotel to stay in, to find a place to eat and entertain, or to go to a scenic spot, they could directly search on the navigation map, including the online taxi that could be later gathered in the navigation map...
Hearing his son's thoughts, Li Ze's heart skipped a beat.
" According to Xiao Dong, this navigation map seems to be very valuable. It could be used as a traffic portal to access many services.'
"Also, Zerun Technology will definitely be making a smartphone in the future. If I can make a navigation map, I can directly install it in Zerun Technology's smartphone and solve the initial problem of installed capacity…"
'For example, all the services provided by Xiecheng Network can actually be integrated into the navigation map…'
" Hmm…Looks like I can consider setting up a software development company after I return to Shanghai. I can invest some money in it and try to create a navigation map.'
Li Ze decided to invest some money to test the waters after he returned to Shanghai.
It didn't matter if he could make money in the short term. He just wanted to make arrangements in advance.
After all, this navigation map was definitely not something that could be completed in a short period of time. This involved the surveying and drawing of maps and road conditions all over the country.
It also involved the issue of surveying and surveying qualifications.
All of this required time.
However, now that they had laid out the plan in advance, they could quickly launch it after the rise of the smartphone market and seize the market and traffic entrance.
Even before the rise of smart phones, they could also consider providing navigation maps to various car companies as car navigation and cooperation.
Li Ze's current business acumen and sense of smell were no longer what they used to be. Therefore, when he heard the information his son mentioned in his heart, he immediately felt that this project could be tried.
He did not lack money now.
Even though the headquarters building of the Ze Dong Group was currently under construction and required a large amount of money, Legend of Mir 2 was extremely profitable.
Moreover, he could also take out a loan or cash out a portion of the funds after the lock-up period for Zerun Technology's shares expired.
Unknowingly, Jiang Ming drove the car into the village road and soon drove into the village road to Li Ze's hometown.
Looking at the flat and spacious asphalt road, Li Ze could not help but nod slightly.
He had donated five million yuan to the village when he came back during the Qingming Festival. He did not expect the village to have repaired the road to the village so quickly.
However, it had actually been more than four months.
The village road did not need to be as demanding as the main road in the city. It was normal for the road to be repaired in a few months.
When Li Ze's car drove into the village, many villagers who saw it immediately surrounded him.
When they saw the car, everyone knew that Li Ze had returned.
Seeing Li Ze get out of the car, the villagers said, Ah Ze, you're back…"
"Ze, you've made a great contribution to our village. This spacious asphalt road is much easier to walk on than before. Riding a bicycle doesn't hurt your butt. The people in the surrounding villages are all envious of our village.”
"That's right. The village chief specially erected a monument by the roadside at the village entrance and engraved your name on it. He also noted that you donated money to build this road so that the children in the village would know that this is your contribution to our village in the future…"
"Also, the new ancestral hall in our village has been built. It's much brighter and spacious than the old ancestral hall. You can go and take a look when you have time…"
Hearing the villagers 'words, Li Ze smiled and agreed. He asked Jiang Ming to take out the cigarettes he had bought in advance and gave the villagers a Chinese note as usual.
After chatting with the villagers for a while, Li Ze brought Li Dong and Jiang Ming back home.
After staying in his hometown for three days, Li Ze returned to Shanghai…
Zerun Technology.
Li Ze called over Zhang Dongsheng, the director of the software development department.
"Director Zhang, I plan to start a new project and set up a separate company to be responsible for development and operations. Now, he was looking for a project manager.”
"Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend? It's best if it's an internal staff of our Zerun Technology's software development department…"
Li Ze asked.
He had been carefully considering who should be in charge of the navigation map project.
He would definitely set up another company to develop and operate this project.
However, in terms of the development team, Li Ze didn't really trust people who were hired from outside, so he considered finding a suitable candidate from Zerun Technology to be the project leader. In addition, he would transfer a few technical backbones to set up the framework.
The rest of the people would be recruited from outside.
Hearing Li Ze's question, Zhang Dongsheng quickly said,""President Li, can you give us a general idea of what kind of project it is?”
" I plan to develop a navigation map software," Li Ze said." I need a project leader and a few technical backbones."”
" A navigation map software?"
" What?" Zhang Dongsheng was stunned. He couldn't help but say," This isn't just about the software itself. It involves more about the surveying and drawing of the map…"
"That's right," Li Ze said. "Therefore, I will set up a company and apply for a surveying qualification. I will also recruit relevant personnel to carry out the surveying work.”
Zhang Dongsheng didn't ask any more questions. After thinking for a while, he replied,""President Li, in terms of software development, I think Tang Quan is a good candidate for the project leader.”
"He's my assistant, so he's very capable.”
"Alright, then ask Tang Quan to come over. I'll talk to him and ask him what he thinks..."
Li Ze said.
After a while, Tang Quan arrived at Li Ze's office.
Li Ze immediately told him about the matter and asked if he was willing to go to the new company. He also told him that in the short term, the new company would not develop as quickly as Zerun Technology.
However, he could take charge of the project alone.
Another thing was that Li Ze had also promised him that after the navigation map was successful, he could give him an option reward from the new company.
Although Tang Quan was Zhang Dongsheng's assistant, he did not receive any option rewards from Zerun Technology. He only obtained the right to purchase a lot of initial shares.
After hearing Li Ze's words, Tang Quan only hesitated for a moment before quickly agreeing.
After all, it was a good opportunity for him to be the person in charge of a single project.
Furthermore, Li Ze had promised him an option reward.
Since it was a project that Li Ze personally wanted to do, Tang Quan believed that this project would definitely have great development and value in the future.
See Tang Quan agreed to this matter.
Li Ze asked him to select a few technical backbones from Zerun Technology's software development department in the next two days and then go through the resignation procedures.
After the registration of the new company was completed, he would directly join the company.
After deciding on the person in charge of software development, Li Ze returned to Zerun Holding Group.
Then, he called Mu Qinglan over.
"Xiaomu, you've been working for the company for a year, right?”
Li Ze said.
Mu Qinglan did not understand why Li Ze suddenly mentioned this matter and could not help but say,""Yes, I joined in August last year. It has been exactly one year since then.”
Li Ze nodded slightly and said," You applied for the position of the CEO's assistant. In the past year, you have been my personal assistant."。”
"I believe that you should have some thoughts in your heart.”
Hearing this, Mu Qinglan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Li Ze smiled and waved his hand.""You don't have to say anything more. This is human nature. However, I plan to start a new company now.”
"At present, the specific project leader of the new company has been confirmed, but there is still a lack of a general manager who is responsible for the daily affairs of the company.”
"So, if you're willing, you can go to this new company for the time being. When this company is established in the future, it doesn't matter if you plan to stay there or if you still want to return to Zerun Holding Group to be the CEO's assistant.”
"What do you think?"
After saying that, Li Ze looked at Mu Qinglan quietly.
Mu Qinglan hesitated for a moment before he clenched his teeth and said,"President Li, I'm willing to go to the new company!”
Li Ze couldn't help but smile.""Very good! Now, let me tell you about the general situation of the new company and what you need to do next…"
Li Ze immediately explained the situation to Mu Qinglan in detail.
Including the company's registration and the recruitment of various personnel…Li Ze gave Mu Qinglan full authority to handle all the matters.
Of course, Li Ze also asked her to discuss with Tang Quan, the person in charge of the navigation map development project, and ask for his opinions and requirements.
In addition, Li Ze also told Mu Qinglan that the temporary capital injection for the new company was 20 million yuan.
If there was a need, they could continue to inject funds at any time.
As for the company's name, it was still named 'Zerun' and was called Zerun Software Co., Ltd.
